Nasrallah, son of a vegetable vendor, has become Israel’s greatest enemy. He is the leader of Hezbollah, which has turned into a powerful political and military organization. Israel targeted him by bombing Hezbollah’s headquarters in Beirut. This is the story of how an ordinary boy rose to heroism in the Arab world and how he became marked for death.
Born in 1960 in a poor neighborhood of Beirut, Nasrallah’s father ran a small vegetable stall. He studied religious sciences and played a crucial role in the formation of Hezbollah. In 1992, he took the reins of Hezbollah and strengthened it further.
He became known as a powerful orator after the 2006 war with Israel. In his latest speech, he referred to the pager explosions in Lebanon as Israel’s declaration of war. Nasrallah stated that Israel is weak and all Israelis should return to their countries of origin.
However, Nasrallah’s life is now in danger. Israel has eliminated several top Hezbollah leaders recently. Reports suggest that Nasrallah was in a bunker during the Israeli attack on Hezbollah’s headquarters. It is now clear that he is marked for death.
Nasrallah is seen as a shrewd political and military leader. He has extended Hezbollah’s influence not just in Lebanon but throughout the Middle East. His successes and struggle against Israel have made him a hero in the Arab world. However, Nasrallah and Hezbollah now face the biggest challenge to their existence.
